We shouldn’t be signing any players IMO until we know who our coach is.
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I posted on this subject earlier today in a different thread. I think it's a real issue. What player worth their salt would sign for us without certainty on who was coaching for the next couple of years. I'd imagine any ongoing negotiations with quality players would be on hold until this is resolved. For that reason alone this has got to be resolved ASAP. Either Cleary stays or he goes and we name the next coach quickly. I'm not a lawyer but don't think there'd be any redress against Penrith even if we could prove we missed out on quality players because of their mischief.

If Farah does sign, or anyone else for that matter, and Cleary is quoted in the press release with the usual fluff, that could be a good indication of where he’ll be in 2019.

Thanks for the considered response. We can only hope that the Panthers suffer on and off the field from this debacle.

Not many clubs would sign players then as most coaches have a contract that is ending in a few years. Seibold has come out and said that he intends to see out his current contract with Souths, that must make everyone at Souths so happy knowing that the Broncos are circling. Seibold didn’t say he wants an extension.

I think the decision making on future signings should be taken out of Ivan's hands
He wont be able to make clear and conscious decisions in the best interest of our club
If a new coach puts his hand up to coach our club we should consider it
But only if Panthers come to the party with a substantial pay out and some players
Think about it
Say Griffin comes to us
He received a few calls from a few upset Panthers players over what happened
What players ?
Would they get a release and follow Griffin to the Tigers
Maybe Griffin can join our club in a non coaching roll so he can negotiate with new signings
While Ivan has to work under Griffin and with the players he signs
A bit like a Gus Griffin relationship

Most here, when Griffin got topped by the Broncos, were horrified whenever He was mentioned as a likely candidate for our Coaching job,
Now we have some turning him into some sainted Saviour .
Guys,(and ladies) he’s been sacked by the only two clubs he’s ever been a head coach of.
But let’s not take any notice of that.

Absolutely not for Griffin as coach. Did anyone hear/watch/read what he said on the way to throwing Gus under the bus?
He basically went on about how bad things were at Penrith and how he turned the junior talent into NRL players. And how Penrith played for the spoon previously year under Ivan before he turned them into semi finalists.
Of course it was Ivan who gave the juniors their NRL starts and had begun rebuilding the club. And they had a disappointing season due to a massive injury toll.
For the record I think Bennett mentioned what a mess the Broncos were in after Griffin’s time there.

Everyone is getting sucked in cos they they feel sorry for him. There are heaps better options out there. Particularly if we get heavily compensated by uncle Phil
There are only two coaches you get rid of Cleary for Uncle Wayne and Maguire.
Otherwise I’d like to see Payten, Hodgo come in under him for 2 years with the view to take over. By then we are a solid club irrespective of the coach leaving.
Either dump him now for Madge or a younger succession plan. You can’t just get a new coach in 2 years of quality who would rebuild it again another way it won’t work.
